We all know who the Egyptians are, and we know that they had massive pyramids in which they buried the Pharaohs and where the famous idea of the creepy “Mummy” comes from but there is another civilization that lived in Central America, the Maya Civilization. The Mayans had some things in common, even at 11,857 kilometers and 2,300 years of difference the Egyptians coming first and the Mayan coming second, both of the Egyptians and the Mayans are isolated from the world, having to create and be creative they create languages, religion and many other things to survive. As I mentioned before Egyptians had pyramids but the Mayan civilization developed its own pyramids. If you compare and Egyptian pyramids with Mayan pyramids you can see that they don’t look much alike but the way they were used and the purpose they served was similar in some ways. The uses for the pyramids are similar in both of these different cultures the Gods were important to them both had different gods but both the Mayans and the Egyptians would praise them, in different ways, but they both praised them using the pyramids they built and pray to them inside them, they had a very religious meaning that was important to both of the cultures. As you may know the Egyptians had many gods and appreciated them a lot, the Mayans also had a lot of gods and just as the Egyptians they also had sanctuaries where they would speak to the gods and pray to the gods, the only difference is that the Mayans had the sanctuary on the actual pyramid while the Egyptians didn’t have them on the pyramid they had them separately. The Mayans placed the sanctuary on the top part of the pyramid, that is why it was flat on the top and had a room like shape on the top. The first Egyptian pyramids such as the Djoser were stepped like the Mayan ones they would have a stepped pyramid shape and the Mayan pyramids would always be like so. Later on the Egyptians make more triangular pyramids and
